This adds to material previously presented in Classic Secrets of Magic (1953) and The Best in Magic (1956) and gathers together inventions of many magicians. Again the tricks are graded from performances geared to beginners on through those to be used by advanced amateurs and experts, and from acts requiring little skill or preparations to those needing a great deal of both. Starting with close-up surprises, the next section deals with coin tricks, then come cards, telepathy, illusions and stage performances with detailed instructions and illustrations to guide the experimenter. More than a hundred items for the persevering prestidigitator, this has a definite audience.
